The two correct answers that describe a realistic cause-effect relationship between solar weather and Earth's magnetosphere are:

  1. coronal mass ejection -- geomagnetic storm
  2. geomagnetic storm -- aurora

These relationships indicate that coronal mass ejections can trigger geomagnetic storms, and subsequently, geomagnetic storms can lead to the formation of auroras.
